Description
- This application relates to a transverse flux machine with voltage regulation that is utilized as an alternator.
- Typically, a permanent magnet generator or motor operates as a parallel flux machine. An electromagnetic force (torque) vector extends in a direction that is parallel to a flux path through the stator and rotor.
- So-called transverse flux machines are also known, wherein the torque (force) vector from the flux is perpendicular to the flux path.
- Alternators have become widely utilized in vehicle electric generation systems. One challenge with the use of such alternators is that the prime mover, which generates rotation of a rotor in the generator, often has a variable speed. Many electrical systems need a constant voltage and frequency output, and the varying speed of the prime mover raises challenges.
